Welcome & Course Overview

Welcome to Roots of Resilience. In this course, we will explore the rich and complex history of the African diaspora — a history that is too often reduced to a single chapter in someone else's story.

Over the next 8 weeks, you will: - Discover civilisations that predate most European nations - Understand the systems that enabled the transatlantic slave trade - Learn about resistance movements across centuries - Explore the Windrush generation's contribution to Britain - Connect historical patterns to contemporary realities

This is not a passive course. You will be challenged to think, question, and act.
